Similarly to enhancement request #39695, I missed to install the debian package with the include files for SSL, before compiling Python 3.9.

After installed it, `make` continued to not find the libraries and skipped the creation of module _ssl.

Searching on internet, I found that doing:

make clean
./configure etc
make

works.

Maybe the SSL library check is done only at configure phase?

As pointed out in your other issue:

https://devguide.python.org/setup/#unix

> If you decide to Install dependencies, you will need to re-run both configure and make.
